Kassandra Marcos: SugarFun Lead Reviewer and Casino Tester

Filipina writer and iGaming analyst. Before I recommend a site, I first check whether it's on PAGCOR's official list.

Quick answer Kassandra A. Marcos is SugarFun's lead reviewer. She's a Filipina writer and iGaming analyst with a BS in Information Technology from the University of Cebu - Main Campus, 10+ years in digital marketing and SEO, and coverage of Southeast Asian iGaming since 2018.

Background

Kassandra A. Marcos is a Filipina writer and iGaming analyst, currently based in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. Still a Pinay, even if the laptop is in Bali.

  • Education: Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, University of Cebu - Main Campus
  • Training: Digital marketing training, Business Training Cebu

The IT background matters more than you'd think. A lot of casino checking is technical: who owns the domain, does the license match the company, is the cashier page really the operator's or a copycat.

Experience

  • 10+ years in digital marketing and SEO
  • Since 2018: covering Southeast Asian iGaming, fintech and responsible gambling
  • Lead Strategist & Technical Auditor at AsianIGaming
  • Writer and digital economy analyst at Online Slots Singapore, where she tests casinos with real money
  • Lead Reviewer at SugarFun

Why SugarFun

"Too many Filipino players lose money to sites that were never legit in the first place. No license, no payouts, no one answering support. That's why I review for SugarFun: so there's one place where you can check a site before you deposit."

"My rule is simple: I test before I recommend. Real deposit, real withdrawal, real timer. If I haven't tested it yet, I won't say it's legit." You can read the full method on how we test, and how AI tools are (and aren't) used on how we write.

My stance on responsible gambling

"Casino games are entertainment, not income. Before every session I do four things:"

  1. Set a budget I can afford to lose, and never touch bills money.
  2. Set a timer and stop when it rings, win or lose.
  3. Never chase losses. No "win it back" round.
  4. Use the limits every licensed site offers: deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion.
